Proving Gynecological Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice is a serious offense and can cause a physician or health care professional to lose their license to practice and give care. That’s why it’s vital, if you or a loved one has experienced medical malpractice, to have ample evidence. In order to prove medical malpractice, you must show evidence of the following:

Injury to the Patient

You must start by proving that there was injury inflicted on the patient. This can be physical injury, but it can also be pain and suffering, losses due to misdiagnosis, higher risk of future complications, and even unnecessary medical expenses (from unnecessary testing or misdiagnosis).

Physician or Health Care Professional Negligence or Carelessness

The second thing you need to prove is that the injury was caused due to error or negligence on the part of the health care professional. If an injury occurred, it must be proved that the doctor acted outside of the standard or recommended treatment, which caused the harm, or that the physician didn’t do what is standard practice, showing negligence.

If a physician or health care professional acts within regular standard of practice, but still causes harm or is unable to prevent injury, this may not be considered malpractice. If it can be proven, however, that the physician should have acted in a more responsible manner to prevent harm or injury, this may be malpractice.
